i share your perspective on how astrology is an art as much as anything else.. that is where i would put the emphasis .. everyone practices it differently too, using different means to shed light on theirs or others situation... in fact it was geoffrey cornielus in his book ' the moment of astrology' where he suggests there is something magical in the process... these are my words, but thinking one can be all scientific has it's limitations...
Hear! Hear!
Happy to be seeing eye to eye with you on something again, old buddy, old pal ;)

One of the first steps was to find a reasonably valid database of events of the same kind that were suitable for having a solid basis for probabilistic statements.

But what is "the same kind" from a cosmic point of view?

Is the way humans categorize the world and being relevant to truth? Are the names that man gives to things suitable for seeing things of the same name as equal or similar in the cosmic sense?

Here I am, sitting in the living room eating potato chips, drinking canned seltzer and listening to my phone ping at new email notifications because a gentleman in the forums is giving his sermon. Mumble to myself:
Jakob, haven't you caused enough ruckus for one day?! lol

The first thing I found was a large database of tornadoes in North America.
I come back to George Berkely. The leaf of the tree in front of our noses... Is that really green?
Are the same names that we give to things really the same?

I distanced myself from the tornado idea again.

It is a cardinal error in the statistical analysis of astrology to regard two facts as the same or similar, which are clearly different in terms of energy, but which people with their limited minds use the same word to describe. That's why it's not surprising that the efforts to prove it have been so unsuccessful so far.

There is a similar phenomenon in medicine and psychology. Different illnesses are given the same names and no one is surprised when most things are declared to be uncurable, even though that is not true at all. But ok, neither are scientific disciplines in the strictest sense, which is why most chronic diseases are only managed and not cured.

I finally found a database with football match reports from European leagues spanning 6 decades.

Match reports with details of the events were included for 1,000s of games. What can be usefully used astrologically?
